In this episode, I'm sharing a concept that has the power to completely change what you believe is possible after leaving diet culture behind. Post-traumatic growth is real, it's backed by psychology, and for some people — it's the missing piece.

What you'll learn in this episode:

• What post-traumatic growth is and where the psychological theory comes from
• Why some women get stuck in the anger stage of diet culture unlearning and never move beyond it
• Five real-life areas where post-traumatic growth shows up beyond food and body

• Two reflection questions that will shift how you use your diet culture experience going forward

In this episode, you will learn:

• Why "hitting a wall" with a client is actually a sign of progress, not failure
• What the Model Behind the Model is and how to use it at every layer of client stagnation
• The question you need to ask your client about her body that she has likely never asked herself
• How the Six Layers of Why tool moves clients from personal blame to systemic understanding

This is part one of a two-part series. Part two covers the physiology of eating. Together, they are the foundation of how I think about eating behavior — and eating behavior is what determines your nutritional outcome.

• How your belief system, thoughts, and emotions create your eating behavior
• Why restricting comfort foods carries a psychological cost most practitioners never address

• What coaches get wrong when they coach clients toward consistency

How we talk in the secrecy of our mind generates the feelings we experience towards ourselves. The range of emotions we experience then generate our behaviors.

The #1 health habit for women

Otherwise, our health habits are generated from the way we feel about ourselves. For many of us who have been under the influence of diet culture the way we think and feel about ourselves isn’t very productive and too often leads to self-sabotage instead of self-motivation.

And how we think about health-promoting habits also needs to change. 

Shift #1 Health is not a moral obligation

Contrary to what diet & wellness culture and may have taught you, health is not a moral obligation, just like being in a particular body size or weight.

You are free to decide how and if you will pursue health.

This shift is most important in our ability to experience ease in creating new health behaviors. Moving from “I have to” to “I choose to” moves us into being in a position of autonomy and power over our reality. 

Shift #2- Health is more than physical health 

As women socialize to the thin ideal, we have been socialized that we are our body and that our health is the outcome of our physical body. That leads to poor mental and emotional health resulting in challenging behavioral patterns.

Health comprises four bodies: Mental, Emotional, Spiritual and Physical. All equally important and worthy of the investment of our resources

Shift #3 Health is not a destination

When we move away from health as a signal of our worthiness, we can appreciate our health as a resource.

Health is a state of adaptation that allows you to adequately cope with all demands of daily life AND create your best life, the one you choose to live.

What you’ll learn listening to this episode:

• My story with health promoting habits
• 3 shifts we teach to undiet your life

Have you ever thought:  “but I felt much more confident when my body was smaller!”

When confidence is shaken by the size of your body, it’s not confidence you were experiencing: it was the safety of compliance. 

You felt safe because you had the thought you were protected from your fear of judgment and rejection.

The Safety of Conformity

When you seek conformity instead of accepting yourself and your difference from the “norm” you consistently:

• watch and monitor your conformity
• always wonder, “Am I enough?”
• work harder to meet the norm
• your happiness and life enjoyment is dependent on what others think of you.
• Feel constantly anxious… fear of losing acceptance because of missing out on conformity.

What you’ll learn listening to this episode on the Safety of Conformity:

• What is the safety of conformity
• Why we do not seek to conform in all parts of our life
• The anti-dote to safety of conformity

Kim's Guided Self-Hypnosis

This is how you set yourself up to be neutral with your body and create confidence, freedom, and ease in your life today, next month, and for the rest of your life.

#1-Nothing has gone wrong

It’s expected and normal that you gain weight after dieting. Research is clear: the #1 predictor of weight gain is having been on a diet.

Your body didn’t wrong you. You didn’t get lazy. So stop the mental self-torture and make a choice:

Go back on a diet and commit to being on it for the rest of your life; otherwise, you’ll regain the weight AGAIN. (NB-I can’t help with this choice… preferable that you unsubscribe to my emailing you as this will only be more torture for you.)

Accept that controlling the amount of fat your body is NOT in your control and move to step 2.

#2-Weight acceptance doesn’t mean giving up

Accepting your body weight simply means focusing on what you can actually control.

It means making your life a lot easier by reducing the stress, anxiety, and discomfort you experience EVERY DAY.

It means taking care of your health in a way that is SUPPORTIVE.

Moreover, it means working “hard” but in a new way: in a way that makes you feel better right away.

#3-Change the focus

The goal you were chasing through controlling your body weight can be achieved in another way.

Happiness, confidence, and security are the outcome of what is happening in your mind, not the size of your pants.

Focus on mastering your mindset so you can think thoughts that will allow you to access your desired feelings RIGHT AWAY.

That same mindset skill you’ll learn is what will allow you to commit to health-promoting behaviors beyond weight loss.

#4-Think about food but in a new way

Use food to build trust with your body instead of trying to control it.

Learn to think about food in a way that will not create obsession and rebellious eating.

Learn to eat in a way that will be healthy and sustainable for the rest of your life. Eat in a way that will be easy and respectful of your body.

#5-Be radical in choosing love at every corner

Learn to RESPOND to fear instead of REACTING to fear.

Responding, for example, means when you encounter a circumstance where you feel your body is being judged, instead of reacting and planning your next diet, you instead become curious as to why you felt judged and work on what in you created this feeling of being judged. Meet the desire to starve your body with self-compassion.

It will require effort to learn to process fear differently and choose love for yourself, but you CAN DO IT.

It’s a revolutionary choice for women to accept their body and weight gain.

Everything in our society is built to make it hard for women to be accepting of their body and age, so we buy into the multi-billion $$ weight loss and anti-aging industries.

YOU CAN DO HARD THINGS.

You’ve been doing hard things your whole life, and this one is no different.

I BELIEVE IN YOU and your capacity to do this work. Moreover, I will uphold this belief for you until you build the skill to believe in your damn self.

I TRUST you to do this work exactly in the way you need for you.

I’ll teach you exactly what you need to know and do for you to know how to accept and neutralize your weight and body with ease and grace. I have done this work for myself and coached hundreds of women to do the same.

Although socialized very early on as women, to be a good girl this socialization is done with good intentions but it leaves grown-up women struggling and in pain.

We are told to be:

• sexy, but not sexual;
• skinny, but not to be healthy;
• smart, but not too smart.

The contradictory messages are seemingly endless.

We have this duality within us... this need to be a “good girl” while needing to be autonomous, smart and independent as adult women. It’s a contradiction we carry within us that we think is abnormal.... a sign that something is wrong with us.

Yet nothing is wrong... we were just socialized to something we cannot be. Being a “good girl” is an impossible standard to achieve leaving us confused, doubting ourselves, and in cycles of shame.

What you’ll learn listening to this episode:

• What is the good girl syndrome
• Signs that the good girl syndrome is present in your life

Self-leadership is the practice of understanding who you are, identifying your desired experiences, and intentionally guiding yourself toward them.

I believe that self-leadership is our ability to guide ourselves towards what we want to experience.

What you’ll learn listening to this episode:

• How going beyond the food leads both of us to self-leadership
• Unyime shares how self-leadership helps rise her 3 daughters
• Self-responsibility versus self-leadership

“The pain would go away if your body weight wasn’t so heavy”

“ This pain is a sign that your body isn’t healthy… you need to lose weight”.

It doesn’t have to be this way. Healing chronic pain doesn’t have to be about weight loss and in fact, many forms of chronic pain will NOT be healed with weight loss.

There are as many people with chronic pain in smaller bodies as in larger bodies… so if weight loss isn’t the solution, then what is?

In this episode, we have guest expert Dr. Andrea Moore, Chronic Pain Specialist. 

What you’ll learn listening to this episode on overcoming chronic pain with the non-diet approach:

• Why pain is a necessary experience for human
• The problem is not the pain but how we experience the pain
• Stephanie journey’s through Dr.Andrea’s process to overcome chronic pain.
• The 3-day free event from Dr. Andrea to learn how to break the cycle of chronic pain so you can reduce pain levels by 50%
